Buccaneer Bay
Newsletter
April 2018
Note from the Editor
Here
Published Since April 1997 Well here it is April 10 and I am just getting this month’s newsletter
finished. It seems that I am super busy with a lot of my County
Committees and new neighbors moving in. My list that I got from
Urban Utilities this month has 8 new residents, so I will be getting
the Welcome Packages ready and out to the appropriate Block
Captain as soon as I can. Page 3 is a list of Block Captains and you
will notice that there are three vacancies. If anyone is interested
please contact me and I will get you set up. We are now trying to
have Block Captain meetings every 4 months, our next one will be
in May. I will send out information to the Block Captains once I
know for sure what our topic will be.
I am looking forward to April finally warming up, but it may be a
few more days yet. I don’t recall previous Aprils that were as cold
as it has been this year. I guess we have just always been lucky.
We had a really nice Easter with our kids, grandkids, and 3 great
grandkids. It is more exciting with the little kids. Our older
grandkids aren’t as excited about getting goodies on holidays.
I can’t believe how close it is to the schools being out for the
summer. If I am reading the Plattsmouth school calendar correctly
the last day of school will be around May 24, depending on how
many snow days were used. There are several other schools in our
area as well and their final days may be different than the
Plattsmouth calendar.
When May rolls around there will be elections for several offices,
local towns and villages, county, state, federal, and schools to name
a few. Bay Hills Clubhouse will be the poling place for just
Buccaneer Bay this year. The population at Buccaneer Bay has
grown so much that other areas that used to come to Buccaneer Bay
to vote will have a new precinct to go to for their voting location.
More and more voters elect to have their ballot mailed to them and
mail it back to the Cass County Election Office or drop it off at
their location, which is at 201 Main St. There is a secure mail slot
on the outside of that building.
Another annual event that has been going on in Buccaneer Bay for
about 20 years now is the Garage Sales. Page 27 of the newsletter
has a sign-up sheet. Jaisa Poppleton will be keeping track of your
sign-up sheets. You also may need to put a sign up in your yard or
on corners to direct the shoppers to your area. The Garage Sales
have always had a good turnout. If you participate on these days,
even if you do not send in your list of items, please have the
curtesy to contribute $5.00 for the advertising. The cost for ads
can be pretty high and by not paying you are getting the benefit
of the other neighbors who did pay to help with the advertising.
Sincerely,
Janet McCartney, Editor

World Press Freedom Day
World Press Freedom Day is a United Nations
holiday celebrated annually on May 3rd. Originally established
by the General Assembly in 1993, the holiday is now run by
the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO). World Press Freedom Day
emphasizes universal rights as set forth in Article 19 of the
Universal Declaration on Human Rights, which was written
and adopted in 1948. This section of the Declaration states
that everyone has the right to seek and relay information,
regardless of their location or circumstances.
In the information age, we often take our access to
news and events for granted in the United States. While
freedom of the press is protected in the U.S. under the First
Amendment of the Constitution, there are still some inherent
obstacles in the ability to report information. This can lead to
withheld information, as well as that of which is not correct.
The situation is even direr in other nations, where the
reporters may lose their lives over their jobs. World Press
Freedom Day is not only set in place to protect the press, but
it is also utilized as a tool to promote freedom of expression
across all borders.
Cinco De Mayo
Cinco de Mayo is celebrated every year on May 5th.
While the holiday has deep political roots, observations of
Cinco de Mayo in the United States tend to be more about
celebrating Mexican-American culture. Mexican-Americans
utilize the day to celebrate how far they have come as a
culture through recognition and festive parties. At the same
time, this holiday has been commercialized so that people
from varying cultural backgrounds can have the opportunity
to partake in the celebrations.
Armed Forces Day Armed Forces Day is on May 19th, it is a holiday that
highlights the services of men and women in the armed forces
of the United States. This includes the Air Force, Army, Coast
Guard, Marines and Navy. Armed Forces Day is celebrated on
every third Saturday of May as a part of Armed Forces Week
that takes place the week prior. This special day is designed as
an opportunity for U.S. citizens to pay tribute to the dedicated
members of the military.
The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated on
Saturday, May 20, 1950. The theme for that day was “Teamed
for Defense”, which expressed the unification of all military
forces under one government department. According to the
U.S. Department of Defense, the day was designed to expand
public understanding of what type of job was performed and
the role of the military in civilian life.

David Jordan – Register of Deeds
I am running for reelection for the Register of Deeds, have served 3 terms “12 years”.
I first started working for the County back in 1980 for the surveyor’s office, learned to do research when we needed
to stake center lines of county roads, bridges, culverts, for ditch clean outs for any land bought or easements.
Worked for this office 16 years back in 1996 I switched over to the Register of Deeds.
I worked for this office “Register of Deeds” updating all cadastral books by drafting, new subdivisions in all cities,
towns and villages. Also did any updates of corporate limits, any ordinances to vacate streets and alleys, changing
names of streets on all maps. In 200 GIS came along I worked on that, had to do a lot of research for the rail roads,
state highways, interstate so all land owned by the state was accounted for and drawing in. After doing that I put all
parcel numbers in for all parcels of ground in the county.
After being elected I started scanning not only the records of this office but the Surveyors too, so these records can
be accessed easy thru our intranet system to be shared with the public and other offices.
We now have our own GIS site. Records from 2005 forward are there now, so I am going back and scanning all
older records, deeds, misc., also plan to go back 30 years on mortgages to put on this site! They will then be
available for access thru our intranet system to be shared with the public and other offices.
With all my time here I have the most experience that is needed, very dedicated and qualified for this office. With
my re-elected this process will go on!
Also, I was chairman for the Cass County Merit Commission, serving 9 years on that board, and now have the
support of the FOP from the Sheriff’s Office.
I joined the Plattsmouth Rotary Club, and I have been a member for12 years, and chaired the grant for the body
cams for the Plattsmouth Police Dept. We were able to purchase 7 of body cams.
I joined Teammates, a mentoring program 2 years ago, we do need more people to join up as there are students who
can use a mentor. Call your local school for more information!
I would very much appreciate your confidence in me by voting for me in the May primary.

Notice to Residents Of Buccaneer Bay
Please do not flush trash down your toilets. "Trash" is anything except what passes through the human digestive tract.
Specifically, do not flush:
> Condoms
> Tampons and Sanitary Napkins
> Diapers
> Cosmetic Paraphernalia
> Sponges and products for cleaning toilets
> Wrappers for candy, cough drops and other medications
> Plastic Bags
> Latex or Rubber Gloves
> Small Animals, whether dead or alive
Do not flush "disposable” and "biodegradable" products. These products do not decompose before they arrive at the sewage treatment
plant.
The waste water treatment plant does not have a filter system like the large cities do to catch un-dissolvable products and chop them
up before they hit the pumps. On a daily basis Urban Utilities has to remove 1-3 gallons of cotton products, such as wet-wipes, cleaning wipes,
feminine products, and diapers to name a few. With this much trash going through the plant the wet well pumps plug and have to be pulled out
of the pit to be cleared. The pictures below show what had gotten through to the pumps and clogged the propellers causing the pumps
to stop operating.
If this continues this could be very costly to repair and end up costing all residents an extra charge on their water bill. The cost of a
filter system is over $250,000.
Thank you for your cooperation.
The Board of Trustees of SID No.5
